Hi..
Planning to get Alza. Any comment form the existing owner. Is it worth it? Other option in the same class?
Planning to get Alza. Any comment form the existing owner. Is it worth it? Other option in the same class?
dusty brakes is normal for every car, the most u can do is change to anti-dust pad, noisy roof is common for any car, u can sound proof it at accesories shop, some shop they provide this service..usually local car has this problem, hot rear seat is common on perodua, but..for this amount of money, its consider reasonable.., we have to remember, wat u pay is wat u get.I'm wondering about this car as well cuz initially I was interested to get one for my family as this is the cheapest MPV and it seems quite decent BUT I heard that it has a lot of quality problems! Like uneven/bad paint quality, uneven antirust treatment, hot rear seats due to exhaust muffler, noisy aircon, poor sound insulation & very noisy roof when raining, noisy/very dusty brakes, etc.
So can anyone confirm these problems if they are true and if they have been rectified by Perodua or are still persisting?
Really appreciate any input, thanks.
I read that even units up to Nov/Dec 2010 were still having those quality issues. Not sure about 2011 batch, but now I'm loosing interest with Alza and more interested to buy the Livina instead which should be a much safer option.the 1st batched might have issues. dont worry. i guess all the problems have been solved by perodua R&D dept. overall good car......
even my wife told me to sell my perdana & get alza or exora
livina has rear aircond too..and its way more powerful and better handling..the 1.6 model shud be another 25-30k on top of the alza.I read that even units up to Nov/Dec 2010 were still having those quality issues.

Hmm not that much, cuz the price list for the 1.6AT is around 88K and they have some discounts now for a few thousand, so maybe can get one for under 85k which is around 15-20k more than Alza Premium/Advance AT.livina has rear aircond too..and its way more powerful and better handling..the 1.6 model shud be another 25-30k on top of the alza.

ok..Are you experienced with this car then? If so, would you care to share?
Thanks.
bro 2009-2010 alza can get free sound proof for roof ;Di've owned one since last year and for me its a great buy. lucky for me none of the problems raised by the 1st batch buyer happen to my car.
about the sound proofing, its a bit of let down as the roof and door is not well insulated but, hey think about the price. it can easily fixed by installing a sound proofing material inside the roof and door. you'll noticed straight away the improvements.
so far, its a good buy for me a to take my family of 5 on a holiday..... :)
alza car problem...Pity to own one.
1. Roof sound awful when it rain.
2. wind noise definately will be hear from the side mirror and once you bring it to SC they will tell you to leave a least 2 ~ 3 days for them to check and repair.
3. Paint problem. anti rust paint uneven at many part. even the body car paint have a lot of defect such as water mark, clear coat paint coating not even, and also scratch mark during car delivery. You think how good is the alza car? Even Perodua assist for repair but at last it will look like a repainted car even though it is a newly brought.
4. Seating fabric (EZi model) on the outlook may seem like a quality fabric but when u look under the seat the overall built and quality look suck. You can check this thing at the sales model.
5. for the engine a bit underpower when you over take a car even you cruising on 80~90km/h speed. that is without any passenger. F0r 110km/h cruise will hit about 2800~3000rpm.
6. Steering have sound when yo do the cornering on either left or right direction. According to the SC it is due to steering airbag part have some misalignment that cause the sound. Temporary it is fix but not sure when the sound will bounce back. According to the SC the steering cannot be exchange as it is not damage. Even though the sound exist they only can repair and repair.... How good is the Perodua R&D ... You own self think la. I not blame on the SC but i think the HQ of perodua not handling this issue well.
7. Interior have sound especially on the seating. sound like something already loose. Still not fixed that problem as sometime come out and sometime not.
8. Fuel consumption ... 350km/ rm 50 petrol (based on ron 95 rm1.90). consider ok for fuel consumption but if highly loaded may be gone a bit higher.
9. Handling... consider ride a bit better than a van. cornering need a bit extra precaution as handling is bit different compare with sedan. i sincere said exora handling is more better.
10. Service price... about rm130 for normal service.. if reach 20000km will need about rm350 for service. each 20000km will need rm350 (depend on the service requirement and customer requirement). Own self judge la on the service price compare with toyota, nissan , proton and etc.
11. Resale value... maybe a lot of drop as new car Perodua introduce each month for the alza have discount about 2 ~2.5K. We need to add up on this when calculating the resale value. I not sure what is the 2nd hand price for alza. If someone know the 2nd hand price for alza pls let me know.
12. Rear seat is useless. cannot sit for long time as you feel your leg began to cramp and back pain for long journey. for the rear seat heating problem i not sure as i not encounter cause i nobody sit there. If future i hear complaint i will post it here again.
All the above comment are based on my own experience for owning alza. If you want to buy need to think twice as i also regret buying this car as there is a lot of discount when purchase of this car. But what you get is a piece of junk which i not know can last for how long. Overall Myvi built quality is more better than Alza.
